SAN DIEGO, May 24.-Two or three
days ago the white men employed in the
brick yards at Elsinore, in this county,
struck for an advance in their wages.
The proprietors of the yards telegraphed
to this city for Cinnamon to take their
places. When the white men heard of
the proposed invasion Of the Chinese
they held q meeting and resolved to
allow none of them to 60 to work.
About dozen Cinnamon then arrived
at the depot at Elsinore, but before they
could go to work they were waited on
by thirty or forty men and boys, armed
with guns and pistols, and ordered to
get out. They were told that they would
be hung if they remained over night,
which so scared them that they took the
| first train for San Diego. Their baggage
was treated rather roughly, but other
wise no harm was done them and their
return fares were paid by the strikers.

SMALLPOX AT SANTIAGO.
Thousands Expected 90 BE Swept
Away With IL.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 24.-Owing
to the neglect of the Government in not
enforcing vaccination, isolation and dis
injecting, several smallpox foci already
reported in this city. have been the
means of spreading the disease, and a.
was anticipated an epidemic is upon
us. To-day it was estimated that there
are fully five hundred cases here within
the city limits.
Properly apart from those outside of
the death rate the number is estimated
to be as high as 60 per cent. which il
due to the fact that some $4,000 of the
population of 10000, are wholly inoccu-
lated by vaccination.
Owing to the rapid spread of the dis
ease, new foci are being established in
the city in localities not hitherto; and the
whole city will be infected, the medical
men say. who believe that thousands will
be swept away unless more thorough
and effective measures are adopted.

A FOOLISH ACT.

If it is true as reported, that
John Storde, of Boise City, after
his recent acquittal from the charge
of murder at Vale, Oregon, spent
81 900 in treating the town and
offered a reward Of $1,000 for the
scalp of one of the men who testi-
fed against him, he did a very fool
ish thing. 1t would seem that pru-
dence would have dictated a diff
ferent course, for while he was ac-
omitted of the serious charge, tie
murder of the poor sheepherder is
still surrounded by mystery and
there are those who still believe
that his death was a direct result
of the trouble existing between the
cattle and sheep men Of that vic,n-
ity. The proceedings following the
close of the trial will he no credit
to Mr.. Strobe, and will lead many
to the belief that the verdict should
have been mot proved" instead of
mot guilty" With such a state of
feeling existing there is likelihood
of more trouble on the Maghogany
mountain range.

ON A BOOM.

1t is reported that the French
syndicate which has cornered the
copper and tin markets is now try
ing to secure control of the lead
market. Lead has been in abund-
ant supply in the east until very
recently, and there is not a pound
in stock at the present time, while
producers have large contracts
ahead. Lead at 3 % with an up
ward tendency would prove a great
blessing to the miners in this part
of Idaho, if, unfortunately, it was
not December and the shipment of
ores from the mines practically
over for the season. The smelling
companies will reap the benefit Of
the high figures and may possibly
rush in supply that will break the
market.

INDIAN DEPREDATlONS.

The Salmon river region appears
to be infested by band of renegade
Indians that are committing depre-
dations on the ranchers, causing
the greatest indignation among the
people of that sparsely settled
country. These Indians are sup
posed to be a remnant of Chief
Joseph's band recently returned
from the east. Why they are al
lowed to run at large, butchering
cattle, rObbing settlers and commit
ting other acts of violence, should
be investigated. Unless they are
kept on the reservation trouble will
follow, as the people are exasperated
over the matter and do not propose
to stand any more fOolishness.
That portion of Idaho has suffered
sufficiently from Indian depreda-
tons and the people can hardly be
blamed from acting on the defen-
sive if the government refuses to
grant them the necessary relief.

IN the Asoondoak

Rev. J. D. Flenner, pastor of the
Methodist Church at Boise City,
who recently underwent a church
trial for being too familiar with
the sisters in his flock. has been
found mot guilty" of the charge,
three of the five ministers COM
posing the jury standing in with
him. Brother Flenner seems to
have q happy faculty of getting
himself in trouble of this kind. AT
the Dalles, Oregon, he was regarded
a. being altogether too friendly
with one of the lady members of
bis church and after this episode
one of a similar nature overlook
him while occupying a pulpit of a
church in Walla Walla. A good
story is told of the loving pastor
while out on one of his missionary
tours in Oregon. He found him
self passenger in a stage coach,
his only travelling companion being
a bright and handsome young lady
hardly out of her teens. Brother
Flenner Immediately started to
make a mash, and dispensed 'taffy"
to the young lady with the liberality
of new clerk in a candy store,
al of which was graciously received
by the object of his alteration.
This was kept up for some hours,
he not telling her who he was and
that there was Mrs. Flenner at
home, but representing himself to
be single man. The stage finally
brought up at the destination of
the young lady, when she alighted,
and quietly turning to the Metho-
dist LOthario said, Good bye, Mr..
Flenner, l knew who you were all
the time. Give my regards to your
wife when you 60 home, and the
next time you try to make love to
a stranger be sure she don't know
